Talk 1:
Date: April 14, 2025
Time: 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Speaker: Benjamin Lindqvist
Embedded development has long been dominated by proprietary, rigid architectures, limiting innovation and accessibility. However, the landscape is rapidly evolving as open source software, modular hardware standards, and collaborative development transform the field.
In this talk, we’ll explore how open standards and tools like Zephyr RTOS, KiCAD, and Digilent PMod enable ultra-fast rapid prototyping, reducing barriers to entry and accelerating development cycles. We’ll discuss how these technologies empower engineers to build scalable, maintainable, and interoperable systems while fostering an ecosystem of shared knowledge and innovation.
Whether you’re an embedded systems veteran or just stepping into the field, this session will showcase how open source principles are shaping the future of embedded development.
Talk 2:
Date: April 14, 2025
Time: 4:30 pm – 5:00 pm
Speaker: Bassem Nomany
